Volunteer

This continued success of RBK will be completely dependant on the goodwill of individuals who can give up a little bit of their time to support those less experienced who come along for some help.

We are always looking for people with the following areas of expertise to continue operating:

Bicycle Mechanics (whatever your level of knowledge, we can use you)

Retail

Volunteer support

Finance

Facilities

PR & Marketing

Local community collaboration (including creative, riding & social)

Sourcing bikes & parts

Warehouse stock control & management

If you can give any amount of time, be that once a month or once a week then that would be great.

As a volunteer you will have an opportunity to influence how the project evolves and get discounted rates on parts and services. More details to follow.

If you are interested then please complete the form below. Many thanks!

NB: as a volunteer run organisation it will sometimes take us a wee while to get back to you. Please bear with us!

Many thanks - when can we meet you?

New Volunteer Inductions

New volunteers are welcome to attend our closed sessions every Tuesday at 6pm where we run inductions after the weekly volunteer meeting (where you will get a chance to see some of those already involved and contribute ideas). Should you be unable to attend on a Tuesday then please email adrian@readingbicyclekitchen.org and let him know when you can come down for an induction and we will show you around at another time (see our website for current opening hours).

The Volunteers Schedule Spreadsheet

We have over 100 volunteers who have signed up to help out and we use a Google spreadsheet to help coordinate who can come in and when, so that we have enough people to open. Each session has to have a Lead Mechanic and at least one other volunteer, but we aim to have more than this. You can find the sheet and add your name for a session here:
